Масштабное расширение сети расчетов с использованием стейблкоинов компании Visa открывает более быстрые, дешевые транзакции со скоростью интернета в трех крупных глобальных регионах, сигнализируя о растущем институциональном интересе к платежам на основе блокчейна без отказа от традиционных финансовых мер безопасности.

Visa развивает стейблкоин расчеты в регионах CEMEA через стратегическое партнерство с Aquanow

27 ноября Visa объявила о расширении своей программы расчетов с использованием стейблкоинов в Центральной и Восточной Европе, на Ближнем Востоке и в Африке (CEMEA) через новое сотрудничество с Aquanow. Этот шаг позволяет региональным эмитентам и эквайерам использовать одобренные стейблкоины, включая USDC, для выполнения расчетов с меньшими этапами и затратами.

«Используя силу стейблкоинов и сочетая их с нашей проверенной глобальной технологией, мы даем финансовым учреждениям в CEMEA возможность испытывать более быстрые и простые расчеты», — отметил Годфри Салливан, руководитель отдела продуктов и решений Visa в регионе. Он добавил, что интеграция с Aquanow способствует отходу Visa от старых расчетных структур. Генеральный директор Aquanow Фил Шам подчеркнул: «Надежная глобальная сеть Visa долгое время перемещала деньги безопасно и эффективно», подчеркивая:

Совместно Visa и Aquanow открывают новые способы для учреждений участвовать в цифровой экономике, используя стейблкоин технологии для расчетов со скоростью и прозрачностью интернета.

Спрос на более быстрые трансграничные платежи возрос, поскольку банки стремятся к уменьшению трений и доступности расчетов 365 дней в году. В 2023 году Visa начала тестирование расчетов с использованием стейблкоинов, введя USDC для клиентских обязательств и вскоре превысив годовой объем транзакций в $2,5 миллиарда.

Aquanow, активно действующая в области ликвидности цифровых активов и инфраструктуры, предлагает регулируемые услуги в Дубае и поддерживает крупные ежемесячные потоки криптовалют. Расширение сигнализирует о усилении институционального интереса к расчетам на основе блокчейна, одновременно подчеркивая, что стейблкоины несут риски, связанные с волатильностью и ограниченной защитой инвесторов. Сторонники утверждают, что расчеты в криптовалютах могут сократить количество посредников и улучшить прозрачность по сравнению с традиционными рельсами.

Zcash Price Rises 25% in 24 Hours, Hits 8-Year High at $850

In the past 24 hours, the price of Zcash surged 25%, reaching an 8-year high of $850. The privacy-focused cryptocurrency briefly hit $855, its highest level since 2018, continuing a weekly rally driven by Grayscale's efforts to convert its Zcash Trust into a spot ETF. This potential conversion would make it the first US ETF directly tracking ZEC's price. Over the week, ZEC gained over 71%, benefiting from a broader crypto market uptrend, with its market cap exceeding $14 billion, ranking it 12th among major cryptocurrencies. Derivative market activity spiked significantly, with ZEC futures volume surpassing $9.5 billion compared to $1.06 billion in spot trading. Despite the rally, ZEC remains approximately 75% below its all-time high of $3,191.93. The news follows similar altcoin ETF launches for assets like Solana and XRP, which saw net inflows of $28 million and $40 million respectively over the past week, while Bitcoin ETFs attracted around $2 billion.

Hardware Wallet Owners Lose Money: The Nuances of Cold Bitcoin Storage in 2026

The article discusses a wave of distrust towards hardware wallets by the summer of 2026, primarily triggered by security incidents. The most significant involved Coldcard wallets from Coinkite, where a firmware bug dating back to 2021 drastically reduced the cryptographic entropy for seed phrase generation. This allowed attackers to brute-force private keys, leading to losses estimated between $115-$153 million in Bitcoin. While Coldcard issued a fixed firmware, the incident damaged the reputation of all hardware wallets. Other manufacturers like Trezor and Ledger issued statements assuring their devices' security, citing their use of secure hardware elements for true random number generation. However, separate data breaches affected SafePal (exposing personal data of ~40,000 users) and Trezor (via a logistics partner, compromising data for ~14,000 users), though no private keys or crypto assets were stolen in these cases. The article clarifies that hardware wallets themselves don't "hold" crypto but store the keys to access it on the blockchain. It argues against abandoning hardware wallets entirely, pointing out that alternatives like paper, memory, or custodial exchange storage have their own significant risks. It concludes that these incidents should be viewed as specific failures, not a condemnation of the entire category. A key underlying challenge highlighted is the dual role of advancing AI, which empowers both defenders to enhance security and attackers to find vulnerabilities more efficiently.

Why XRP Cryptocurrency Plummeted 11% During Bearish Pullback

The cryptocurrency XRP experienced a sharp intraday decline of over 11%, its most significant drop since February 5th, trading around $1.4745. This sell-off reduced its market capitalization to approximately $92.5 billion, representing 3.56% of the total crypto market cap. Despite the daily plunge, XRP had gained nearly 47% over the preceding week. The article notes that XRP's decline was more pronounced than those of Bitcoin and Ethereum on the day, though Bitcoin's broader market movements continue to set the tone for the sector. Key factors influencing XRP's price are highlighted as its inherent high volatility, news related to Ripple and the XRP Ledger, market supply and demand, regulatory developments (particularly the ongoing SEC vs. Ripple case), and technological updates. The piece contrasts XRP with traditional assets, noting its potential for rapid price swings and different market dynamics. For context, during the sell-off, Bitcoin was down about 2% and Ethereum down over 4%. The summary concludes that XRP's future trajectory for 2025 and beyond will heavily depend on regulatory outcomes, market demand, liquidity, and the overall state of the cryptocurrency market.

Trump Earns Over $1 Billion in Cryptocurrency Amid Market Downturn

Donald Trump earned over $1 billion from cryptocurrency in the past year, according to his 2025 financial disclosure. The income, generated while he was in office, came primarily from a meme coin bearing his name and tokens from World Liberty Financial. This occurred as the broader crypto market experienced a significant downturn, with Bitcoin falling about 50% from its previous high. Key sources included roughly $635 million in royalties from the meme coin business and over $500 million from World Liberty Financial token sales. The disclosure also lists major holdings in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other crypto assets through entities like DT Marks Defi LLC and CIC Digital LLC, with individual positions valued over $50 million. The report highlights investments in crypto-related stocks like Coinbase and mentions a $6 million income from an NFT licensing deal. Trump's substantial personal gains from the industry, alongside his administration's pro-crypto policies, have fueled criticism and debates over potential conflicts of interest, particularly during legislative discussions on digital asset market regulation.

Bitcoin's $100,000 Price Forecast May Be Too Low After Record Short Squeeze

Standard Chartered's Head of Digital Assets Research, Geoffrey Kendrick, now suggests his year-end Bitcoin price target of $100,000 could be "too low," following a record-breaking short squeeze and renewed institutional demand. A massive three-day rally from August 19-21, driven by US Treasury liquidity measures and a pro-crypto White House meeting, forced the largest Bitcoin short liquidations on record, with nearly $1.44 billion in $BTC positions wiped out. This forced buying accelerated the price surge, pushing Bitcoin above $79,500. Concurrently, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw significant net inflows, adding roughly $1.92 billion over five sessions, with BlackRock's IBIT leading. Kendrick characterizes Bitcoin as a "Giffen good" for long-term investors, where rising prices spur more buying. He notes that with investor confidence returning and the anniversary of Bitcoin's October 2025 all-time high approaching, the price could potentially exceed that previous peak of $126,000 by year-end. While Standard Chartered had lowered its target from $150,000 earlier this year, its long-term outlook remains bullish, projecting $500,000 by 2030.
